<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.9.14
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits at her desk, filing reports, her hair done up in a ponytail and a lack of interest on her face. She mundanely does her job without mirth
* Chad`Winters scratches the back of his neck as he stares at his terminal.
* Shiva hops along the hall, a wiery look on her face.
* Kio was currently in the training hall, doing his daily routine. Both swords were out, as he practiced his movements with his blades.
* Xanatos`Durran sits behind his console, legs propped up and arms crossed. His head is lowered and eyes are closed. Just like nothing ever happened.
* Shiva hops along, stopping infront of the Training Room. She stops and peers through the window, pressing her face against the window as she stops to watch Kio.
* `Cole stands at the shooting range, practicing his accuracy.
* Chad`Winters leaps back in his chair and stares up at the ceiling, his body twisting slightly in the chair as he looks up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands in the diplomatic office, since it's currently just him and Katrina McCormick. "Alright, how's this for a line? 'Hey, want to go out to a dinner with me?" 6*Katrina doesn't even look up. <Darien> Yeah, you're right. It could be taken as a friends thing...
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Chad`Winters looks back down at his terimnal and finishes on a current schematic and submits it.
* Ariel idly wanders the hallways. She feels the need to keep moving, but doesn't feel like training at the moment.
* `Cole unloads upon the targets, he stops to check the damage thus far. He nods as he has hit all his intended targets.
* Seraphna has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, how about this. 'There's this new fancy Italian restuarant that's open and I was wondering if you would accompany me?" 6He turns to look at Katrina expectantly. <Katrina> ... No.
* Kio continues moving along the ground, his whole from still and calm. He took a step forward, spinning his sword in his right hand. It came forward, in a light slashing notion forward. He pulls it backwards with a quick reflect, coming forward with an upwards thrust with his remaining weapon. Such was his movements, and he continued to make each thrust and slash without flaw or error in his form.
* Shiva presses one of his fingers against the window and slides it around as Kio makes his forms.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs and just walks out of the diplomatic office, glancing around the hallways and begins to walk down them, pulling out his datapad to look up something.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets him go without saying a word, just filing her reports.
* Cassandra_Arakawa has joined #taw
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
* Chad`Winters stands up from his chair and turns around to work on his holoboard and begins to write on it
* Ariel pauses, seeing Shiva watching Kio, and glances over to see what's so interesting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans against the training room wall, in the shadows, seemingly watching Kio, though it appears his mind is elsewhere.
<Seraphna> NRP: o.O how long have I been offline?
<DeathStar> NRP: A long, long time.
<Seraphna> NRP: It only just timed em out... someone get me up to speed
<`Cole> NRP: People are just doing everyday things right now.
* Seraphna is now known as Ceres
* Cassandra_Arakawa marches into the security office in her civvies!
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ceres
* Ceres steps into teh diplomatic office, coming off a break
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr, who has been walking around minding her own business, is suddenly grabbed by Darien and yanked into a hallway.
* Shiva looks behind her and see's Ariel. 1"Hi."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright boys, saddle up. I'm taking you all to a strip club!
* Kio brought a quarter out from his left pocket, tossing it into the air. He completely went still, his eyes closing. He simply listened to metal singing into the air, both swords remaining steady and calm. His ears remained alert, letting the sound draw closer and closer. Like that he lashed out completely blinded, hands blurring as his sword struck into the quarters..cutting it in half. A step 2
<Kio> 2 was taken, as his body did a half spin on his feet, and his other sword strike out. It cuts into the quarter once more, now splitting it into forth. He precisely struck out, his swords movements unnaturally fast as he continued to rip into the metal left and right. Moments later it fell into what seemed like a hundred pieces, all hitting the ground consecutively. =
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor eyes Cassandra, then glances at Xanatos, then back at Cassandra.
* Ariel nods to Shiva, then glances to the window. "He's working hard."
* Xanatos`Durran glances up at Cassandra. "I'll pass."
<Shiva> He's beating up coins it appears.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hi, Zephyr. I need a tiny little favor. 6He puts an arm around her. "Consider it helping intergalactic relationships. I need to know about Ariel." 6Zephyr tilts her head.
<Shiva> It'll be helpful in the event that we are attacked by a world of coin-men.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Suit yourself. My day off and all.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor just shrugs politely, going back to mopping.
<Kio> 14"Something on your mind Warren..?" 2He said, taking a step back into his original position. He went into a single thrust, his body turning slightly to follow up with an upwards slash. He draw it forward, pressing a few steps forward in order to link up the motion with downwards slash with his left sword.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hnh. 6He responds, obviously not going to talk about it.
<Xanatos`Durran> Well I have to hold down the fort. *he closes his eyes again*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just does her paperwork, pretty much ignoring Ceres' presence in the office.
<Ariel> "Prehaps he's played too many video games?"
<Kio> 14"Of course..I should have expected that response..the hell was I thinking?"
* `Cole stops firing and glances from Kio to Warren. "Where has Lady Arhn been? I haven't seen her in quite some time." He notes.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Enjoy your time, Xan. *leaves, heading for the hangar*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Duties.
* Ceres blinks over at Kat, "Hey you okay hun?"
* `Cole nods lightly to Cassandra.
<`Cole> NRP: FUCK. Xan did that. :)
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm fine. 6She says politely, though without warmth.
<Shiva> So Ariel, what brings you out and about?
* `Cole nods once after a moment. "May I ask why you are attacking coins, Kio?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Zephyr walk down the hallway. "So you're saying she likes Lilys..." 6He hits buttons on his datapad. "And Japanese food?" 6He hits a few more buttons. Zephyr just walks along calmly.
* Chad`Winters slides to the far end of his Holoboard, his left hand writing quickly as he begins to calculate things in his head.
<Ariel> "Well... even I get bored sitting around an office too long." She shakes her head a little. "It's really not my thing."
<Kio> 14"Precision, I do it to keep my senses always aware. I'll present you a challenge, I'll pay you 50 bucks..if you can manage to hit me with your gun"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head to look at Kio now, upon hearing the bet. He studies Cole.
<Shiva> Then why take it? You could've given the job to someone else.
* `Cole shrugs. "Wouldn't I be breaking a rule? Isn't firing on a fellow crew member illegal?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Cole walks up and bops Kio on the head with his gun* I win.
* Cassandra_Arakawa takes a shuttle down to the planet...yays.
<Kio> 14"No body will know..if you do manage to shoot me..I'll say I accidently miss fired"
<Kio> *mis-fired*
* `Cole points to the security cameras.
* Chad`Winters turns, watching cassandra leave.
* Chad`Winters turns his head back and moves over to the other end and continues back on drawing up a rough sketch
* Xanatos`Durran enjoys his quite. Since the Janitor is obviously a man of silence.
* Arhn is in her quarters, writing out some musical notes upon her console...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Curiously, Commodore, I notice that you seem different around Ariel. Certain parts of your--- <Darien> Uh, heh, lets not go into that. <Zephyr> Are you planning on going on a date with Ariel? 6* Darien pauses, as if caught at his own game. <Darien> I'm going to try.
<Kio> 14"Heh, then they also have a audio of what I just said..and will not hold you responsibilies for injuries"
<Kio> *responsible*
<Ceres> "Spoken like a girl who's really pissed and doesn't wanna say it."
* `Cole shrugs and fires two quick randomly placed shots at Kio.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm just trying to focus on my job.
<Kio> 2He suddenly shot forward directly into the shots. His movements quickened, as his muscles relaxed within his arms. He shot both sabers out, letting his right one swing upwards into the first shot, and left into the second. Both as a result would slam into the roof.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. Then, I should assume you will be following the proper rules of dating, which I have studied up on thoroughly. Have you asked her parents? <Darien> Uh, Zephyr, we both know she doesn't...6He sighs. "That doesn't apply in this case." <Zephyr> A logical point. You should contact Alpha Cheryl, though. <Darien> You're kidding me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just looks unimpressed, as usual.
<Ariel> "Because I was asked to. The 'Dragoons' need someone looking out for their interests for once. And... I do not believe any of us are particularly suited to desk jobs."
<Ariel> "Anyways... I feel it is my responsibility to do what I can for my kin."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I believe you should follow the proper rules of conduct. Ariel would appreciate this gesture. 6* Darien stares, then sighs. "Fine. I'll call Cheryl." 6He says, feeling like a child in front of someone who essentially acts like a child.
* `Cole eyes Kio. "Thats interesting enough." He continues to fire, each shot is followed by one from a completely differnent direction, then just as the 7th shot comes out, he fires a quick 8th shot behind it.
<Shiva> Well it is quite a different role than what you are accustomed too, I'm sure your ancestors did do such things before tho.
* Chad`Winters steps back from his holobard and crosses his arms as he eyes his work before him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs a communicate, putting in the call. Zephyr stands there patiently, with a sort of sage look on her face. If he didn't know better, Darien would think he was caught in some sort of prank.
<Ceres> "You sure...? You take a vacation, Xan seems uptight, and you're colder then a popsicle."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Look, I'm fine, okay? 6She says, standing up. "I'm going to go take a ... break. Whatever." 6She walks out.
<Ariel> "Prehaps some. Though, as best I can recall, my people were the guardians of my world. I cannot think of any who were politicians or diplomats."
<DeathStar> NRP: *it's revealed Cran is from Ariel's world. Ariel screams in terror*
* Ceres sighs and nods, sitting down at her desk, "Great..."
<Shiva> ...Are you saying you're...a different 'class' than the others of your kind?
<Kio> 2He braced himself for the shots, knowing that Cole will get more serious in his movements. Kio rolled his body, his swords going into a defensive grid of energy before him. With each shot one responded with immediate reaction time, slamming into the shot and knocking it off to the side..slightly scortching the walls. His eyes eventually fell shut in the middle of all this, as if responding to 2
<Kio> 2 the energies sounds now. They were continuesly bounced off his swords, until the 7th shot came around. Almost as if he heard and sensed that 8th shot, he rolled his front half off to the side. Both swords stoke out, one hitting each energy protectile and slamming them past Cole and Warren. One slams into near Coles feet, the other nailing the the targeting cole was shooting at square in the 2
<Kio> 2 head. 2
* Cassandra_Arakawa brings the shuttle to a landing and steps out, ready to hit the town running.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hangs up the communicator after hearing nothing but laughter. "There. Now you're going to help me get that date." 6Zephyr nods, following after Darien toward his room.
<DeathStar> NRP: I'd try to make sense of Kio's last sentence, but I can't)
<Kio> NRP: Which one?
<DeathStar> NRP: The thing after One slams.
* Ariel considers a few moments, "Prehaps 'caste', would be more accurate, but it still does not convey all of the meaning I'm looking for. My people are about as different as the others from my world, as the Dragoons are from Humans."
<Shiva> NRP: Minus ing.
<Shiva> Very interesting.
<Kio> 2Oh snapples typo..sorry about that. One would slam right into the ground near coles feet, the other would fly right passed his head..hitting the target he was shooting right in the head.
* `Cole glances down at his feet. "Now if I used a weapon without sound. I'm sure you would get shot."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, having never moved despite the display, remains as impassive as ever.
<Ariel> "I would not say the situation was the same. As best I can recall, my people were respected, and treated as part of society. Where the Terrans have treated the Dragoons merely as tools, and a potential danger."
<Shiva> Desperate times has a tendency to blur the lines of right and wrong very quickly.
<Shiva> NRP: have
<Kio> 14"Then I rely on eyesight more then my ears. I train in such ways to keep every sense aware to the activity around them. Quarters are simply a backup training measure, since I can't have allies shooting me all the time."
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads off to party...then stops in front of a strip club.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well...I did promise the boys..not my fault they missed their chance. *goes on in*
* Chad`Winters scratches the back of his head and he moves back up to his Holoboard and erases a section of his drawing and begins to start over again
<DeathStar> 6* The strip club, featuring exotic women, is high class and talented. While most of the occupants are males, some are female, but it seems Cassandra's gender is in the minority in the audience.
* `Cole shrugs lightly. "More power to you I guess." he turns and resumes his practicing.
<Ariel> "True. Though, I believe it was the power that fell into the hands of a dangerous man, which is the root of the tragedy."
* Kio sighs lightly. 14"Some people never understand"
* Cassandra_Arakawa takes a seat at a table and then waves to order a drink.
<DeathStar> 6* A female waitress moves over, taking Cassandra's order, not looking very surprised to see her in there.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Scotch on the rocks.
<Shiva> Hindsight I believe is as they say, 20-20?
<DeathStar> <Male Voice> Well, I'm surprised to see you in here. 6A red haired man sits next to her, wearing a brown coat and jeans. It's none other than the wanted anarchist John McCormick. He smiles at the female bartender, giving his order of a simple beer. The waitress moves off.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I promised the boys I'd take them to a strip club one day. But hey, they snooze, they lose.
<DeathStar> <John> So you decided to come along? You're definitely one to stick to your guns. Though I'm surprised you didn't bring Ry along.
<DeathStar> *come alone
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances over at Shiva and Ariel, having been listening to their conversation.
<Shiva> NRP: Thorugh the window glass?
<DeathStar> NRP: I never said where in the training room he was, except a wall.
<Shiva> NRP: I blame Kio for making it sound like he sent a rebounded shot next to you.
* Ariel smirks a little, "Certain problems have been evident from the beginning. The ability to do anything about them, has not been yet availible."
<Kio> NRP: I rebounded a shot next to Cole
<Shiva> I believe that's where diplomacy comes into play?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> He was busy...and its not Ry anymore.
<Shiva> NRP: Both swords stoke out, one hitting each energy protectile and slamming them past Cole and Warren
<DeathStar> <John> Oh? What's he calling himself these days? 6He smiles politely as his beer is handed to him, then the waitress hands Cassandra her scotch.,
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Kio. *takes her drink and lifts it up* To what shall we toast?
<Ariel> "I only hope it's sufficient enough to belay the dangers, before it's too late." *frowns a little*
<Kio> NRP: Never rebounded it next to him though :) It simply passed him, and I never said where he was passed!..cause I didn't know
<DeathStar> <John> I could say something befitting of my intellect and say to strippers, but.. 6He holds up his drink. "Here's to the future, and may Earth find her way in the galaxy without letting tyrants win."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies Ariel closely, watching her movements, as if analyzing her for some reason.
<Shiva> You know...I was once told we should make do with what little time we have.
<DeathStar> 6* A delivery shuttle lands and a package is sent down to Darien's room, post-haste.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Here, here. *clinks her glass to his and then downs some*
* Chad`Winters turns, eyeing the delivery shuttle come flying in, land and a man running out of the hanger with a package.
* Xanatos`Durran stands and yawns a bit as he heads out to do his rounds for patrol. Leaving the security stuff to some NPC security person.
<DeathStar> 6* John drinks all of his beer easily, placing the empty cup down on the table. "So, tell me, who do you plan to vote for in the upcoming election? I'd vote, but being a criminal and all, I think my vote is nulled."
* Kio places both swords away, glancing between the pair. 14"So..either of you got any plans?"
* `Cole stops shooting. "What do you mean?"
* Ceres sighs, finishing up since no one else is around, she starts to head to the shuttles, planning on drinking a bit.
<Kio> 14"As in..recreation..fun..enjoyment..that kind of stuff"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters the hanger near Chad, sitting down on some crates as she looks over at him. "Hi."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Anyone who isn't Cran. Guy is too much like this old CO I had...
<Chad`Winters> How you doing Kat?
* Ceres passes by Kat, doing her best to leave her be, heading to one of the shuttles set to go down to the colony
<Chad`Winters> Ceres, did you check it a shuttle out properly?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I've been better. So, tell me, what are you doing in here?
* Ariel simply nods, "Wise advice."
<`Cole> I play music. *he states after a momnt of though*
* Ceres nods, "I check out teh same one every day, same time."
<Kio> 14"I heard there's going to be a concert doing on Europa..not sure if it's true or though..heard it from the engineers when they were drunk"
* Chad`Winters moves to his terminal and checks his records. 1"I see...."
<DeathStar> <John> Hear hear. 6He says with a nod, motioning for another beer, his eyes only barely glancing at the women as he talks with Cassandra. "You know, when I first met you, I knew I had seen you somewhere, and then I glanced at my favorite playboy issue and there you were. I never knew you had it in you, Lt. Commander Arakawa."
<`Cole> A concert? What kind?
* Chad`Winters turns back to look at Kat. 1"It'd appear I'm working...too much I'm guessing, right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, I didn't say that. Just curious what you're working on.
* Ceres heasd over to the shuttle and steps aboard, yawning a bit as she taps int eh commands for the usual flight
<Kio> 14"Rock, Old school Kinda stuff is my guess"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up, wearing a nice shirt and pants instead of his uniform. Zephyr, who has obviously been hiding around the side of the hallway, motions him to go on and talk, waving her hands encouragingly. Darien sighs. "Hi, Ariel." 6He seems to have his left arm behind his back.
* Shiva turns to look down the hallway, seeing Darien.
* Xanatos`Durran passes by the hanger doors and notes Kat and Chad, he keeps moving on his rounds, no apparent change in his expression.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I've been accused for...mmm...overcompensating for my...loss. *raises a hand and wiggles her fingers*
<Chad`Winters> This is a new gear design that incorporates some of the previous alliance technologies we gained.
* Ariel turns to look at Darien, and gives a start. "Oh... Hello Darien." She hesitates, "Is there an event of some sort I missed notice of?"
<DeathStar> <John> Do you think you overcompensate? 6He asks her, taking his new beer and downing it. One would almost think he was the counselor instead of Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her hands together, but gives no other outward signs of emotion herself.
* Ceres sits back and rests as she rides down to the colony
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I took it all off for a full page spread then pop in to a strip club. What do you think?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Um, no. I was just wondering if... <Zephyr> Ask her now! The timing is perfect. 6Darien glares at Zephyr, who hides again.
<DeathStar> 6* John smirks, bemused. "Tell me. Do you like your body?"
<`Cole> Rock....*his rubs his chin* Sounds fun. *he admits after much thought*
<Chad`Winters> I figure if I keep updating old technolgies with our new found technologies, it might prove to the Senate that we are getting positive things out of this.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You keep this up and you might just get a job building these things full time. 6She says to him.
* Shiva quirks her eyebrows at Dariens hesiation and then nudges Ariel forward towards him.
* Xanatos`Durran just merely walks past the clump of people outside the training room.
* Ariel glances at the less than subtle Zephyr, and then back at Shiva after the nudge. This reeks of conspiracy.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Durran, staring at his face.
<Kio> 14"Maybe, I've never heard Humans play music..only music I've heard so far was Arhn's"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out the Lilys. "I found these. They're for you." 6He doesn't bother to explain the absurdity of FINDING flowers on a station
<Chad`Winters> You're not the first person to tell me that. *he says as if disturbed by the thought but almost pleased.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then obviously there's something to it. 6She notes.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Just look me up and down. I've got the body of a supermodel...and not one of those stick figure models either.
<Chad`Winters> I do believe I'm still blacklisted on anything but this station.
<`Cole> From what I've found on the holo-net, it can be pretty crude stuff. It all depends on the sub-genre.
<DeathStar> <John> I'm not arguing about how nice your body looks. And neither are they. 6He nods to the crowded room of engineers who followed Cassandra. "I'm asking if YOU like your body."
* Xanatos`Durran rounds the corner and is out of sight again.
<Shiva> Ooooh, how cute. I wish a man would give me my favorite flower...A Nerubian Praily. *she glances at Warren*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe for now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Shiva. "No."
* Ariel seems rather confused, but takes the flowers with a nod. Did they add a new gardening module? "Oh... um, thank you." She throws a quick glance at the peanut gallery.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I...don't know. Its...not what I was born with. Sometimes...I wonder if there is any of myself left.
<Shiva> Uhh...*she snaps her finger in defeat* Someday I'll win against you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives Darien a thumbs up, using a human gesture. "The books says now is the optimal time for achievement of the goal."
<DeathStar> 6* John leans in a bit closer, but respects her space enough that he doesn't get his neck broken. "What's your first childhood memory?"
* Chad`Winters steps upto the board again, drawing on it once again. 1"I'm worried about you Kat."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> About me? 6She blinks in surprise.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Oh...I can't even remember how old I was...I remember falling...busted up my knee...had the scar until I...well...got blown to hell.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, eyeing Darien, shakes his head and exits the area altogether, moving away from the training room.
* Ceres starts wandering down the street colonyside.
<`Cole> So you've only heard the type of music that Arhn played, Kio?
<Chad`Winters> Yes. I know what happened between you and twinkle toes. This mood doesn't befit you quite frankly.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up a finger, both to Cass, and to the waitress for another beer. "Then I'd say the most important part of you is still there. Your memories. And that's all one needs of themself."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's hard to see him every day, being so sad and withdrawn. 6She admits, glancing at the ceiling. "Being on a station means we can't get away from each other."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> That's a debate for the philosophers. Can the mind exist seperate from the body?
<Chad`Winters> There's 2,012 tiles up there.
<DeathStar> <John> If you can remember the little girl you that you once were, then I say yes. 6He takes his next cup of beer, drinking it quickly.
<Kio> 14"Yes, in the military didn't have much time to myself..was usually off on a foreign planet on a suicide mission"
* Ceres steps into the loudest sounding place in the area, thanks to the engineers, and looks about
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Count them much? 6She asks in a joking voice.
* Xanatos`Durran steps back into security office and begins to do something on his console.
* Ariel glances at Zephyr, "...and what exactly are /you/ up to?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am admiring the metal used for this wall. 6She looks back at the wall, then motions to Darien obviously again
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Ah...but the mind is the body's plaything. Nieztche.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I was wondering, if you would like to join me on a date. I found this lovely place that serves Japanese food. 6He asks her suddenly.
<`Cole> I understand, I only really got to delve deeper into music upon my joining PAX.
<DeathStar> <John> I think therefore I am. 6He sets down the empty beer cup. "See you around, Lt. Commander." 6He hops off the seat, and blocked from sight by the engineers, vanishes from sight into the club.
<Chad`Winters> Twice, just to make sure I was right the first time. It must be very difficult for you and I commend you holding up so well, but you're much prettier when your in a cheerful mood.
<DeathStar> 6* The waitress comes over. "He said you would pay for his drinks."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Descartes.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...how many drinks...?
<DeathStar> <Waitress> Four. 6She motions to the empty cups.
* Ariel glances at the flowers, the peanut gallery, then Darien. She shakes her head slightly, a small smirk on her lips, "Is that what this is about..?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That sounded very much like a compliement. 6She notes, giving him a small smile.
* Shiva nudges Ariel again as if sensing her hesitation.
* Chad`Winters glances back. 1"Much better Kat."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> They aren't likesuper cocktails that cost one thousand a pop, are they...?
<DeathStar> <Waitress> No, ma'am.
<Chad`Winters> Can I ask you something?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. Cheryl told me it was okay if we go out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Go ahead.
<Chad`Winters> Tell me about your parents.
<Kio> 14"Perhaps you should try to go down to the colonies then, you'll get to know the culture of Humans..music or otherwise"
* Ceres spots Cass and takes a seat next to her, "Hey there."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Ok, I can take them then...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, look who is here. I didn't know you went for this sort of thing.
* `Cole nods, "I probably should. But i've been pretty preoccupied with mastering my current craft, that I donn't go much of anywhere.
<Kio> 14"Craft..the guitar I see you around with sometimes?
* `Cole nods lightly. "I've been practicing my heart out."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> My parents? 6She pauses, tilting her head back. "Well, my mom is the dearest person you'd ever meet. She likes to bake cookies for my brother and I everytime we go home, just like she use to do when we were children. I use to spend Sundays baking with her in the kitchen for hours, and she would scold John as he tried to sneak off with the best ones."
<Chad`Winters> The best ones?
<DeathStar> 6* Half the engineers seem to be waiting to see if Cass does a strip show.
<Ceres> "Eh, the paperwork is boring."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah. We would make different kinds and he would claim the chocolate chips were the best, so he would go after them before anyone else good. Dad and I liked regular sugar cookies, though, so it never really bothered us.
* Ariel covers her mouth a moment, to keep from laughing. "Alright. I think I would enjoy seeing this restaurnt you've found."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So you come to watch other women take it all off?
<Ceres> "Nah, jsut to get drunk."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wonderful. Shall we leave in, say, 10 minutes? 6He asks her hopefully.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So why'd you choose this place?
<Kio> 14"Well..what say we take a trip now then?"
<Chad`Winters> Please continue on. *he seems to be slowing down as he listens*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into his room, sitting down on his bed and leaning back on the wall.
* `Cole shrugs. "Sure." He spins the pistol quickly before holstering it.
<Kio> 14"Alright.." 2He slips out to head toward the hangar
* `Cole follows behind, nodding his head lightly to Shiva and smiling at her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Me and my father always got together the most. He worked as a counselor for troubled teenagers, and it inspired me to become a counselor. We would sneak down sometimes late at night after mom and John went to bed and we would eat ice cream and talk about all sorts of things.
* Shiva waves hier hands dismissively at Cole as she watches Ariel and Darien
* Ariel doubletakes, "Ten... minutes?" She looks down at her uniform, "You don't give a lot of advance notice, do you?"
* Kio moves around a corner, the hangar door down the hallway. 14"She's not very nice to you is she?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It helps keep you from getting second thoughts.
<Chad`Winters> It would appear that you have quite the tight-knit family, baring the occasion felony commited constantly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah. Mom couldn't understand why John has decided to live this life, but they understand, I think deep down, that John is doing what he thinks is right.
<`Cole> I'm just her guard. She doesn't have to be.
<Chad`Winters> It must be nice to have people who are so caring and understanding. *he pauses for a split second then goes back to drawing*
<Ariel> "Well... if you're worried about that." She glances at the flowers, considering asking Zephyr to take care of them. But she isn't sure they'd survive if she did. "Just... well, I suppose I should make good use of the time you've alloted me."
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin slowly as he reads something.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Chad, tilting her head. "You have people who care about you, Chad."
<Kio> 14"It still helps to be nice" 2Enters the hangar
<`Cole> Being nice doesn't produce a profit whenever it comes to me. *he states bluntly, idley glancing over at Katrina and Chad.*
<Chad`Winters> I know....
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles. "Thank you." 6Zephyr walks over. <Zephyr> Remember to have her home by 23:00 hours.
* Shiva giggles slightly as Zephyr
<Kio> 14"I think you have self esteem issues.." 2Boards his usual craft.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hops off the crate she had decided to sit upon. "I'm going to go finish some reports I need to do. See you around, Chad."
* `Cole steps on, taking the co-pilot seat. "No, I don't. I try to be as nice as I can to her. It is my job, if she isn't nice back. Tough shit, thats not part of the job."
<Chad`Winters> Cheer up Kat. I don't want to have to drag you into my practical joke war.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Corrupting a minor, Chad Winters. 6She shakes her head at him. "She's going to beat you in the end, I bet." 6She smiles once at him, walking off.
* Ariel nods to Darien with a smile, and unfortunately misses Zephyr's comment as she hurrys to her quarters, while trying to appear as if she's not hurrting. She needs to have a talk with that one.
* Xanatos`Durran seems to squint his eyes and then frowns, closing the document. He moves to open another to read.
<Ceres> "It was loud, usually that means fun..."
* Ceres downs another drink
<Chad`Winters> I feel I'm teaching her a very important lesson in life and I doubt it. I'm keeping my aces up my sleeves for the end game.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I shall go make sure she is properly prepared. 6She follows after Ariel, leaving Darien alone with Shiva.
* Shiva looks at Darien. 1"You sly fox you."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Chad's computer suddenly blinks out to a password required screen.
* Kio sits down in the pilots seat, activating the controls. 14"I'm glad I got out of that life..sure being a Earth government man is quite boring..but least the higher ups try to be nice..sometimes"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I should go prepare my shuttle. 6He says, giving her a nod before turning and hurrying to the hanger.
* Chad`Winters turns around at his terminal and looks at it. 1"What in the..."
<`Cole> Specially when you're having sex with you boss huh?
<Kio> 14"...That was a lowblow"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Cover your drinks if you get up on stage and take it all off.
* `Cole smiles. "You set me up for it nicely."
<Shiva> Just make sure to bring protection Darien.
<Kio> 14"Hey, maybe I'll get a payraise" 2He said jokingly, taking off to Europa.
* Chad`Winters sits down in his chair and begins typing in his password
* `Cole nods. "Or a paycut. It is a double edged sword."
<Kio> 14"..you did it before? You seem to know alot about that"
* `Cole smiles. "I'm an observant man. And I've seen many things in my time."
<`Cole> How would you feel if you had a breakdown with Cassandra. She is your boss...infact, you have nowhere to go. What would you do?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, will you be having sexual intercourse with the Commodore? 6She asks Ariel innocently. "They say that the Erusians and humans are able to do so. The books I have read says you should not rush into anything until you are old enough. They also state one should be prepared for such an event. Are you prepared?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches his shuttle, running up the ramp. He begins to power it up, whistling a tune.
<Kio> 14"I really wouldn't care about my job..I'm a resourceful man, I can get around. But I'd be pretty...how would I put..pissed?"
* Ariel stops dead, and looks at Zephyr. "...where are you getting this?"
<Chad`Winters> ...What the...*he types it in again, again getting an invalid password*.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> After listening to the engineers talking about human sexual urges and needs, I felt it prudent to read up on the subject of dating and sex to better understand humans. Did you know that unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy?
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers lean in to see if Ceres takes' Cass' offer.
* Ariel nods slowly, trying not to get too distracted as she gets ready. "Yes. That is how most species procreate, after all."
* `Cole chuckles. "Don't you think your relationship relies mostly upon sex? If she got bored, then you would be old news. Don't you ever think of things like this?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Fascinating. 6She pulls out her notebook, writing something down. "Why do humans seem to do it all the time? Are they in dire need of reproducing?"
<Kio> 14"I like to think our relationship goes deeper then that"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> One time I overheard Lt. Commander Arakawa and Lt. Kio in the closet and they seemed to have interesting things during the experience.
<Ceres> "Hmmm..."
* Ceres seems to seriously consider
<Ceres> "You ever done this before?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I was Miss August in a Playboy spread once.
<Ariel> "It is... a complicated matter." *doesn't want to explain right now*
* `Cole smiles, "Everyone would like to think that about their own relationships. But for the most part..it isn't. But, don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it isn't. I'm just saying that I think people should think more about their actions. It seems there is a lack of such a thing on the station."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. 6She tilts her head.
<Chad`Winters> ...*lets out a low growl and moves over to his datapad and hooks up his jack to his terminal and types something on his terminal. He sets it on his counter and moves over to his holobard and goes back to working on his design while his Datapad tries to crack the password*
<`Cole> NRP: yours* instead of that second it.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: datapad not terminal.
<Ariel> "I take it that much of this was your doing?"
* Xanatos`Durran slams his fist on his desk after a while. He stands and signs off, he makes sure the other NPC security members contact him if anything happens, at least until Cassandra is back on the station. He steps out and walks toward the training area, which he hopes is now empty.
<Shiva> Ahhh love is in the air.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I provided Darien with helpful facts about dating so that he might successful partake on a date with you. His body's reactions whenever he is in your presence would indicate a high probability of interest.
<`Cole> NRP: Like that lump that appears in his pants.
<Kio> 14"It may not look like it..but I do. Sure I think about that little tidbit all the time, that it's on an entirely physical levels..but in the end..well it's hard to explain..but it's more then physical to me..And I wonder when PAX ends, what will become of that relationship..regardless of it's level. It doesn't change the fact we are of two entirely different origins. But I simply try not to 2
<Kio> 2 dwell on it" 2
* Shiva watches Xanatos step into the training room and turns her head, walking away.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles lightly, the first time he's done that in 8 days. He is glad she's gone, and he proceeds to take out his anger on the training bag.
* `Cole glances at Kio. "See, what people tend to get too wrapped up in. Is how they feel. Sometimes you need to figure out just how the other person feels." He nods to Kio, "But i'm sure once this is all over, you two can figure something out.'
* Ariel trys to ignore the slight blush on her cheeks, "Well... you do have a unique for of assistance." She gives Zephyr a small hug, "And now I best be off. I've already kept him waiting."
* Ceres takes another drink, "I dunno..."
* `Cole glances at the colony below. They are almost about to land.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Have fun. 6She says to Ariel, watching her leave to meet Darien. Turning, she moves out into the hallway, having nothing to do now.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Tell you what...I'll join you on stage.
<Kio> 14"Well, I do know she gets jealous when I mention I've hung out with a few women..or when I got drunk at certain..parties in my past history. She also seemed to kick my ass for that little trip to Tsi territory not too long ago..meaning she was concerned." 2He manuevers the craft, so that it would land in the docks. Silently he got up and walked toward the city.
* Chad`Winters looks back at his terminal and sighs, he taps his comm. 1"Miss Zephyr, may I talk to you.
<Ceres> "Deal."
* `Cole stands and walks with him. "Good. I've just noticed the recent event with Miss Katrina and Mister Durran and I figure I might maybe give a little advice to stop it from happening again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How may I assist you, Lt. Winters? 6She asks innocently.
* Arhn finally leaves her quarters, heading to the galley.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Shake on it. *holds out her hand*
* Ceres shakes
<Chad`Winters> Comm: It appears that somehow my password was changed, and I figured you'd be able to crack it for some reason.
* Ariel hurrys to the hanger, as she finds herself already late.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I would be honored to assist you, but I am very busy currently. I do not know if I can aid you in such a manner.
<Kio> 14"Yeah..so first thing's first...I'll teach you Earth cultures very basics..the women"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his watch, looking worried now. He leans back in his seat, glancing at the ceiling.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright! *rises from her seat*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheers sound from the engineers.
<Ceres> "You'll have to help me here... never done this sort of thing before."
* `Cole glances at Kio. "If they are anything like Miss Katrina and Miss Shiva. I'm really not too interested."
<Ceres> "Plus I'm prety smashed."
<Kio> 14"They are freaks among women..no worries"
<Chad`Winters> Comm: And what pray tell are you doing currently?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Just follow my lead... *heads on over to the bar first*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am currently engaged in a study of relationships. 6She moves into the galley. "I will try to get to you as soon as I can." 6She hangs up the comm, giggling, despite the fact Arhn's nearby and it might make the Dragoon race look silly.
* `Cole laughs at that comment.
<`Cole> Very well. Lead the way.
* Ariel makes it to the shuttle, "I'm sorry I kept you waiting..."
<Kio> 2They soon move into the red light district, hookers..drugs..yanno..that whole deal. 14"I usually see John in this area, trying to pick up a woman..or 6"
* Arhn just...looks at Zephyr.
* Chad`Winters hangs his head and slides over to his datapad, disconnecting it. His works on it for a few seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns around, taking a deep breath and smiling. "I'm glad you came. Have a seat." 6He motions at the seat, looking excited again.
<`Cole> I assume he says, "A real man could get these girls without the use of money!:
<`Cole> "
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hello, Ambassador Arhnya. 6She says politely, straightening up now.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender glances at Cassandra. "You need something?"
<Kio> 14"Yeah he's a cheap ass"
* Xanatos`Durran breathes a bit heavily after intensely smashing on the bag to the most of his ability. He breaths one long breath and then steps out, walking down the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in her office, chewing on her pencil as she looks at files, not really even seeing the words.
* Chad`Winters sets his datapad down and moves back over to his board and resumes drawing.
<`Cole> I have noticed his unique "skill" with womenkind. It's pretty interesting how I can point how his blatant flaws..yet girls are oblivious to them.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> My girlfriend here and I want to join the fun for tonight...up there. *thumbs back at the stage*
<Arhn> Are you...well?
<Kio> 14"The key is..make your strengths so obvious, that it blacks out seemingly obvious flaws"
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Um, that can't be done, you see-- 6Suddenly all the engineers begin to chant Cassandra's name. The bartender, realizing with horror 95% of his alcohol sales right now are coming from then, slumps his shoulders. "Fine. I'll, uh, step out into the back for 10 minutes so I can't be held responsible for anything that happens."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright, my choir has spoken. Ceres, ready?
* Ariel sits down and secures herself. She says absently, "In the future... ten minutes really isn't enough time."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am functioning to the top of capabilities. How are you, Ambassador? Warren speaks very highly of you.
<`Cole> I guess that could work. I'll remember that if ever I get the notion to go for any girls. Though, most of the girls i've seen are nothing compared to the women on my planet.
<Arhn> Oh, does he?
* Ceres nods and grins a little, obviously drunk
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll keep that in mind. 6He flies the shuttle out of the hanger. "But you look beautiful."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances down at her datapad with a singing hamster. She pauses, then shuts it off, setting it down. "Yes."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright! *heads over and mounts the stage* Ladies and gents, now for something special! *wink wink*
<Arhn> And what does he say?
* Kio stops in front of a strip club. 14"Well, this should change your mind..go in"
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick, having been talking with someone in the back, glances up at what's happening. Pausing, he pulls out his hidden camera, keeping it level so Cassandra nor Ceres can see it, then hits record.
* `Cole glances up and reads all the XXX signs an Nude Girl signs. He glances at Kio then shrugs, going inside.
<DeathStar> NRP: <Darien> Actually, we're going to a strip club, because I feel that there is plot taking place there.
<Arhn> NRP: Lol!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He speaks highly of your musical talents. After hearing your performance a few months ago, I have to concur with him.
* Ariel smiles a little, having barely had time to do more than tidy herself up a little, "Well... Thank you. Though..." She shakes her head, the rest of that comment was unimportant. "Thank you."
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the galley and moves past Zephyr and Arhn. He stops and then turns back to them. "Good Evening Ladies."
* Arhn nods to Xan.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hello, Lt. Commander Durran. How are you? 6She tilts her head, looking concerned.
* Seraphna has joined #taw
* Ceres has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6 *the engineers applaud loudly, urging them on.
<Xanatos`Durran> I don't guess I can complain. *He smiles lightly, though its not much of a smile at all* Lady Arhn, it's been quite some time since I have seen you. How have you been?
* Kio steps in after Cole
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Music please!
* Seraphna is now known as Ceres
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ceres
* `Cole glances around and then looks at the stage, he looks back at Kio. "I don't believe you're going to like this..."
* Ceres follows Cass' lead
<DeathStar> 6* An engineer, capable of playing the music, starts it up, picking the song he thinks will lead to the best stripping.
* Kio looks around, then at Cole..obviously not paying attention to strippers. 14..like what?"
<DeathStar> <John> Man, if that girl is overcompensating, I can deal. 6He says, glancing up as he films it, using his coat to hide the camera.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Kio wipes the drool off his face as he turns away from a guy*
<Kio> NRP: You wish I was gay, so you can have a shot
* Cassandra_Arakawa starts to sway her body to the music, then moves and hangs off of the pole..because all of these places have poles.
* `Cole eyes Kio for a moment, a bit in disbelief. He just shakes his head and moves for a table. Though he hasn't spent much time on any Earth like area, he seems to know how to get around.
* Kio then eyes the stripper tables, his stare going blank. 14"..well..t-that's new..s-she works as a stripper on the s-side?"
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers stare with fascination.
* `Cole blinks, "That's all your going to say? We are definitely two very different people it seems."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: *Jabs Arhn in the ribs*
<DeathStar> NRP: *Warren tackles Xanatos*
<Kio> 14"..I kinda don't know what to SAY!"
* Cassandra_Arakawa then with flourishes, starts undoing buttons on her top.
* Ceres giggles a little, watching, trying to mimic the experienced one
<DeathStar> 6* Now she has the engineers in her sway. John just smiles, using his free hand to keep his head propped up as he stares.
<Arhn> I have been well. My free time has been spent working on my music.
<`Cole> I know what I would do. Of course i'm from a backwater planet and I don't have a woman.
* Shiva stops down in the hanger and moves over to Chad's desk and sits on it's edge.
<Chad`Winters> What brings you down here?
<Shiva> Just checking to see what my favorite prodigy is coming up with now.
* Kio gets up on coles table, and cups his hands to block out the light. He narrows his eyes to get a better look, 14"Lemme guess..grab her..drag her ass out..then beat her in the nearest alleyway as punishment?"
<`Cole> And flatter her? You've got to be kidding me.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Well that is good to hear. I was telling....*he stops* Well, I remember saying that your music is some of the best i've heard. And i'm not just saying that either."
<Kio> 14"..just what are you customs on these sort of things?"
<Chad`Winters> Interesting. The Cartel still happy then I assume.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, glancing around at all the empty seats, as all the engineers seem to be gone. She blinks.
<Arhn> You have my gratitude.
<`Cole> Simple. I'd shoot everyone in here and then go up there and have sex with her in the pool of blood and beside the mound of corpses.
<Kio> 14"...remind me never to piss you off"
* Cassandra_Arakawa yanks off her jacket with a sudden movement, letting it fall to the floor. Her hands go to her hips and down inch by inch goes her skirt.
* `Cole smiles. "You are too gullible my friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Arriving on the colony, Darien leads Ariel to the Japanese place, where he made reservations. Getting them both in, they are seated.
* Xanatos`Durran nods and then glances at Zephyr. "And what have you been doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheers and woots fill the room
<Shiva> They're always pleased with the work you do. They're were impressed with your last body armor design infact.
* Kio sees John in the corner of his eyes, and turns. 14"..Man!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was helping the Commodore prepare a date with Ariel. 6She states, glancing at Durran again, giving him her full attention.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at the menu, having never really eaten Japanese food before. He glances at it, then at Ariel, then at the menu. "So, um, what do you like?"
<Xanatos`Durran> So Darien finally asked huh? But..what did he need your help for?
<Arhn> ...a date?
* Ceres lets her blouse fall to teh ground, starting tog et into it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I helped him learn the simple rules to dating and how to engage in a successful venture.
* Cassandra_Arakawa tosses off her skirt, now in stockings, lingerie, and high heels...she struts across the stage.
<DeathStar> 6* An engineer bows before her.
<DeathStar> 6* John whistles to himself.
<Xanatos`Durran> He...didn't know?
<`Cole> I would be pissed. *he states bluntly*
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> As long as it saves lives.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I do not know. He did not dismiss my help. 6She tilts her head. "Do you think he knew?"
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Kio> 14"Actually know what...I'm not gonna get pissed..sure it's...uh disturbing.." 2He hops off the table, approaching the stage. He stops near it, pushing and shoving it if need be. More of a joke then anything, he would toss a 100 dollar on the bill at Cassandras feet.
<Xanatos`Durran> I don't guess he did. *he shrugs* How is the prank war coming?
* Cassandra_Arakawa straddles the pole, leaning back from it...
* `Cole watches Kio and the gauges Cassandra's reaction.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Arhn, then at Xanatos. "Um, well?"
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not going to rat you out to him. Don't worry.
<Arhn> In my culture, it is the female who initiates the encounters.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So a female is suppose to ask out a male? 6She tilts her head in confusion
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Arhn. "That makes sense why you turned down Ry so much."
<Kio> NRP: I must have missed that class in Erusian 101 :P
<Arhn> Essentially. Our hormonal structure is a bit...different. Female Erusians are more aggressive sexually than males, as opposed to the opposite with humans.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's eyes widen with interest. "Really? Can you tell me more?"
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow. "So why haven't you iniated anything with Warren."
* Kio turns to Cole, screaming slightly. 14"Hey..move that lunky ass over here!"
* Ariel takes a moment to look at the menu. "I have to admit... I've always had a liking to fish. I'm used to it being a rarity. But... there's so many types here."
* `Cole sighs and stand, he moves toward him. "What? I had a good view."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fish? 6He glances at it, squinting at the names. "Which fish is good?"
<Kio> 14"Sitting in the back isn't gonna do you much good."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Cassandra has made a cult of the engineers.
<Shiva> It has. Many lives will be saved because of it.
<`Cole> I'm not trying to get laid. I'm just looking at the anatomy of the earth females.
<Kio> 14"You get a better view up here"
<Arhn> Its...awkward. Besides, as you know...we have defined mating cycles.
* Cassandra_Arakawa then reaches to her back and pops the clasp on her bra...a few teasing gyrations later, and down it goes...
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr jots this all down in her notebook. "Do you believe other females in other races should be more dominant in nature, also?"
<DeathStar> 6* Loud cheers this time. Some engineers fate. John just smirks.
<Kio> 14"Still..this is sorta disturbing to watch..:
<Xanatos`Durran> Since you aren't in your mating cycle you still can't be intimate? I'm sure that if you were in the mental mindset, you could. *He adds to Zephyr's question.*
* Chad`Winters crosses her legs. 1"So tell me Mr. Winters...How do you not burn out?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Booyaaa.
<DeathStar> NRP: Chad's a GIRL!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Only a girl could attact Kat.
* `Cole glances at Kio. "Don't watch, or at least...focus on Ceres there."
<Arhn> I cannot speak for them. It is simply a result of ERusian physiology.
<Chad`Winters> I get enough sleep, I don't know.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Xanatos. "Why would one be intimate outside a mating cycle? Is it not for the purpose of mating and reproducing?"
* Ceres follows Cass' lead again, blushing a bit
<Shiva> Well I have noticed that at times you sleep for less than 4 hours.
<Kio> 14"...When I see here, all I can iamgine is John on the stage, banging her"
<Kio> *her, imagine*
<DeathStar> 6* John is imaging just that with Cassandra.
<`Cole> ....That's weird.
<Chad`Winters> I sleep 6 hours minimum during the day.
<Shiva> Oh I see then, my bad.
<Xanatos`Durran> There is more too it than that. Being with someone you love, is one of the highest pleasures in the galaxy. If not THE highst pleasure.
* Cassandra_Arakawa twirls on the pole, then her hands go down, tugging up on her panties, then letting go with a snap.
<Kio> 14"Uhh..what isn't wierd about this situation?"
<`Cole> Well I can tell you my thoughts on this situation.
<DeathStar> 6* More thrilled sounds from the audience.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers this.
<Kio> 14"Hell might as well"
<Arhn> Do keep in mind that despite our physical similarities, there are differences as well.
<`Cole> Earth girls are easy. *he states quite bluntly*
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Arhn. "Differences can be overcome. You just have to put forth an effort."
<Kio> 14"...no comment"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks into the cafeteria, eyeing Durran and Zephyr both interrogating Arhn. Realizing no good can come of this, he exits quietly out the way he came.
* Cassandra_Arakawa turns her back to the audience, and then starts oushing her panties down inch by inch...then back up.
<Shiva> NRP: I read that as dousching...
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Kio, nodding his approval to him.
<`Cole> Besides. I would destory this girls. Physically.
<`Cole> NRP: *these
<DeathStar> NRP: Shiva would be hard to destroy, I imagine.
<Arhn> Perhaps...
* Kio eyes John, as if wanting to tackle and maul him. 14"Why would you want to destroy them?
<`Cole> I wouldn't want to. I'm saying physically I would.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at the two of them. "If your truly love for someone you go for it. You would do anything to be with them."
<Kio> 14"Cole do me a favor..get me the strongest drink this place has to offer"
<Arhn> Different mindsets.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Cole punches Kio in the face* There ya go.
* Ceres starts to do the same, a blush on her cheeks
* `Cole trap Kio on the shoulder and points to the drink on the bar. "Already ahead of you."
* Kio grabs it, and downs it within seconds.
<Xanatos`Durran> Different mindsets? *he repeats as a question*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is unusually quiet as she listens to Durran.
* Cassandra_Arakawa then lets her panties drop after some teasing...
<Kio> 14"I wonder if she even noticed me yet?"
* Chad`Winters steps back from his drawing and crosses his arms again.
* `Cole shakes his head. "I belive she is having way too much fun. Infact, I think I know what she did before she joined the military."
<Arhn> I was raised to follow my duty, not o follow my heart.
<DeathStar> 6* The audience goes wild. Engineers seem to be falling over themselves to get closer to the stage. It's like a church revival with spirits taking over people.
<DeathStar> <John> Hot damn. They did make her a perfect body
<Kio> 14"I already know..didn't see the posters in the cafeteria?"
<Xanatos`Durran> I was raised to drink and beat prostitutes. But do you see me doing such a thing?
<`Cole> Playboy and Stripper is two completely different things my friend.
<`Cole> And actually I have a poster in my room. *he adds*
* Kio hears Johns comment, and twists the empty glass in his hand. He tosses it directly at the side of Johns head, the messgae quite obvious. 14"..why Cole?"
<DeathStar> 6* John catches it with his free hand idlely, setting it down.
<`Cole> I respect beauty. *he says simply*
<Kio> 14"....know what..stop talking will you?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa then raises her hand to wave to the crowd, picks up her clothing and heads backstage...dresses...and then makes for the back door.
* Arhn raises a brow...
* `Cole eyes Kio. "I believe I'll be leaving now. You can catch a ride back with her can't you?"
<DeathStar> 6* John hides the camera, applauding, as does everyone else. He quickly hops out the side door.
<Kio> 14"Anyway..I think..I'm gonna hit the nearest bar..and don't take my ride will you?" 2He moves out rather hastily, heading to the nearest alchohol dealer.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up when the waiter arrives for their orders.
* Xanatos`Durran glances from Zephyr to Arhn. "You are your own person. What you were taught while young is only a stepping stone for what you are to become. You are blessed with the choice to use that knowledge to change yourself for the better. Or possibly for the worse.
<Xanatos`Durran> '
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hey there, strange. *walking out of the alley as Kio passes by*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You have a kind heart, Xanatos. 6She says suddenly.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Zephyr. "Your much too kind. But I don't know if I would agree.'
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What would make you disagree?
<Kio> 14"Huh?" 2Stares around to look at Cass, he rubs his forehead a bit. 14"Uh yeah..hey.."
<Shiva> You done with this one yet?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lamely orders some sort of fish, probably just guessing. He folds his menu, handing it over to the waiter.
<Chad`Winters> No, I'm only in the development stages.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Drinks on me? *holds up the 100 that Kio set on stage*
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs lightly, "I'm not sure."
<Arhn> Why is that?
* Ariel hesitates. "Well... I suppose I'll have the same that he's having." She smiles.
* `Cole watches John leave and then glances at Ceres, he sighs and moves toward her. "Miss Ceres, I do believe you are quite drunk."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flashes her a smile, ordering some wine. He leans forward after the waiter leaves. "You sure you like that particular kind of fish?"
<Kio> 14"You noticed me eh? Needless to say, showing Cole human culture..I really..was not expecting that"
* Xanatos`Durran looks from one to the other. "I'm just not one that would speak highly of themselves."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks him right in the eyes. "Even if you do think highly of yourself, I still think you're kind." 6She closes her eyes and gives him a big smile.
<Shiva> I look forward to seeing it completed. *she stands up and walks off, disappearing into a hallway*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, you know...day off and all...
* Xanatos`Durran smirks at her. "Well I thank you for the compliment."
<Ariel> "Not at all. But I suppose I'll find out soon enough."
* Chad`Winters goes back to work.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers something. "May I hold your datapad?" 6She asks Xanatos, opening her eyes.
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow, "What for?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh oh. We might both be sick after this is all over. The waiter drops off a bottle of wine, pouring them each a glass.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I, would like to remove a prank I left on Chad's computer. I forgot.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes, Darien narrated the waiter pouring their drinks
<Kio> 14"Yeahhh uhh hn.." 2He was really at a stupor when it came to something to say. 14"But hell, wouldn't want to hold up your day off..musta had some good reason for not inviting me."
* `Cole coughs, eyeing Ceres who is just kinda blanked out. "Miss Ceres. Wooo hoo." He waves his hands in her face.
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers pan out now that the show is over.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I just wanted some me time, you know? But hey, come on...get a few shooters into you and this will be just laughs.
<Xanatos`Durran> Uhhh. Sure. *he extends the datapad to her.*
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, entering something, then sending Chad the password. She hands Durran his datapad back, giving him a smile. "Thank you."
* Ceres works her clothes on clumsily, "Aye umm... huh?"
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Chad`Winters looks over at his datapad as it beeps. He moves over to it and checks it thenlooks at it oddly. 1"Huh?!"
* Xanatos`Durran pockets it and nods, "No problem." He is silent for a moment and then glances from Arhn to Zephyr. "Well...I uhh..I guess i'm going to go. You ladies enjoy yourselves." He bows lightly before turning to walk away.
<Kio> 14"It's not a big deal, if anything I need a few shooters to get Coles crap outta my head:
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Ariel> "Then prehaps it's a good thing that the medbay is possibly the best maintained part of the station."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cups her hands together, watching him walk off as she stands beside Arhn.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Cole's crap?
<Kio> 14"..long story"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles. "I can drink to that." 6He brings the glass up to his lips and drinks some of the wine.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We have plenty of time, lover.
* `Cole smiles and helps Ceres get her clothes on. "Miss Ceres, you really shouldn't drink so much."
<DeathStar> 6* John stands on a roof edge, glancing down at Kio and Cassandra. He smirks at the two of them, then turns and moves off onto the roof.
* Xanatos`Durran steps out of the galley and takes a right, moving out of sight.
* Chad`Winters moves off to his terminal and types in the password.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina breaks her pencil, saying with frustration. Standing up, she walks for her room, deciding to just call it a night.
Session Close: Tue May 23 00:00:00 2006

Session Start: Tue May 23 00:00:00 2006
Session Ident: #taw
<Ceres> "I'm jusss... whatsis... lonely..."
* Ariel smiles and sips her drink, "I hope that Zephyr has not made your life too difficult today."
* Kio stands there, as if hearing something. 14"..he's fucking with me"
<`Cole> I can imagine so. I must say you have poor choice in your suitor. *he lifts her up into his arms and movees toward the door.*
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's getting a cleverly wicked streak in her. I think Chad's being a bad influence.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Who?
* Arhn sits down to have some dinner in the meantime...
<Ariel> "I am hesitant to discern how much is mischief, and how much is innocence."
* Xanatos`Durran turns a left, stepping into the hall headed for his room.
<DeathStar> <Darien> True. Cheryl sends her best, by the way. Well, I think it was her best, over the laughing.
* Ceres blinks a little, "Poor choice...? But I lvoes Johnny..."
<Kio> 14"Eh...just a horny lil stalker is all..don't worry about it. When you look at us..where do you see us going?"
<`Cole> One sided loves are something that I lack the desire for. *he says as he walks down the street*
* Chad`Winters unlocks his terminal and runs a check up on it real quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Everything is fine.
<Ceres> "Whatcha mean...?" *hiccups a little*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr bows to Arhn, moving back to her room.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I live the present, Kio...
* Ariel nods, "She is... more forward, than most."
<`Cole> I don't think it is best to talk about in your current state. Your confusion would be much too overwhelming for me.
<Ceres> "Buts I wanna know..."
* Xanatos`Durran stops at his room door and stands there staring at it. It seems he is thinking about something.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She gets her point across. 6He agrees, holding the wine cup. "It's nice that we finally got some time to do this. I've been honestly wanting to do this since I first saw you at that party two years ago.
* `Cole frowns. "Ceres, John might give you 8 out of the 9 ultimate pleasures, but if he doesn't love you, is it really worth it?'
* Ariel pause a moment, resting her head against one hand. "Two years... it seems like an eternity, and mere days, at the same time."
* Xanatos`Durran exhales slowly and then pushes the button for his door to open, he steps inside his room.
<Ceres> "He... doesn't...?" *looks down worriedly*
* Kio raises a brow. 14"Understandable, but surely..you have some sort of thought about the future..?" 2He shook his head, moving to wrap one hand around Cassandras waist. Though it was obvious he find himself bothered a bit by Coles rather..bluntness
<`Cole> Do you honestly thinks he does?
<DeathStar> <Darien> It does. It's hard to believe so much has happened. I never expected to be running the diplomatic part of PAX. 6He says with a nod
* Chad`Winters tosses his feet up on his desk and leans back in his chair, his eyes closing.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...no...everytime I think about the future...thigns go all wrong.
<Ariel> "Not I a diplomat, charged with the well being of a race."
* Ceres nods
* Xanatos`Durran step out of his room once again, it seemed he wasn't in the mood to sleep. He walked down the hall quickly.
<`Cole> Has he ever told you?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, it seems we're both fish out of water. 6He says with a smile
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr unlocks her door, moving over to her drawers, pulling out one and watching clothes dump to the floor as it's upside down.
<Ariel> "Well... we do make do with what the universe provides."
<Kio> 14"And that's basically what Cole wanted to pound in my head..not as long as I thought it was but still..if your up for the drink, then cmon..but if you want more me time, no worries there either."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the fish arrived, then looks at Ariel. "Lets hope we do better than these guys did."
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the hanger, walking toward Chad.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Come on, I'll buy.
* Xanatos`Durran stops beside his desk and eyes him. "Sleeping just doesn't suit you."
<DeathStar> NRP: <Durran> Sleeping with my girl, does!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: ZING!
<`Cole> NRP: *Punts Ceres out the window*
<DeathStar> NRP: Well, since we seem to have some RP going on, let me talk in here real quick
<Kio> 14"No can do my little "bunny"" 2He said with a rather humorous grin. 14"I'd technically be buying my own drink anyway"
* Ceres shakes her head
<Ariel> "...served on a platter is not the way I'd prefer to go."
<DeathStar> NRP: Since Alicia doesn't seem to be around, Kio is going tomorrow for his session. Also, I want to move Episode 100 to Friday, June 9th, at 8, if that's okay.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Ok
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: ....I don't know about that.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So why argue then?
<DeathStar> NRP: It's a long session and I'd rather not do it Monday, since I remember Jackie works and that Ariel has things to do every second Monday.
<DeathStar> NRP: Which would be the 12th
<Kio> 14"It's a pride thing, go with me here"
<`Cole> So why would you think he loves you then?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I'll see what I can do. Friday's in general aren't too hot for me. Buuut i'll do my best.
<DeathStar> NRP: Good. Good.
* Retrieving #taw modes...
* DeathStar changes topic to '| PAX - http://thealienwars.tripod.com/PAX/ | (Current Weekly Schedule for Main Sessions) - Mondays at 9:00 EST, Tuesday - 8 EST, Wednesdays at 9:00 EST, Thursday - 8 EST. | Season 5: 10 of 22 completed | June 9th - Episode 100: Endgame. "For every ending, there is a beginning"'
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: *Eyes everyone*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we'll have to see it doesn't happen. 6He takes a bite of the fish, chewing, giving a smile. "Not bad."
* Chad`Winters quirks up, looking at Xanatos. 1"Yes?"
* Xanatos`Durran stands there with his arms crossed, "I have to need something to stop by?"
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Sure thing, lover.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we'll have to see it doesn't happen. 6He takes a bite of the fish, chewing, giving a smile. "Not bad."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: I can't make it period. I have to work.
<Kio> 14"I have to admit..I'm jealous though!..that you never busted out these means of seduction on lil ol me!"
<DeathStar> NRP: Alright, if you guys insist on not doing it Friday, then it'll be Tuesday, meaning no session Monday.
<`Cole> nRP: *Stabs Ceres*
<Ceres> NRP: ow
<`Cole> NRP: DO I have to inflict bodily harm to you each time I want you too reply? *Glare*
<Ceres> "B-Because... well..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> That was just show and booze. Besides, I don't ahve a pole bolted into my quarters.
* Ceres looks away, "I-I jus... jus do..."
<Chad`Winters> If it requires waking me up, I do believe so. *he drops his hands into his lap.* So what do you want?
* Shiva has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Kio> 14"..still..liked the outfit"
<Xanatos`Durran> I guess to talk. *he says after a moment of thinking why he even came here*
<Chad`Winters> About? *he says curiously*
<`Cole> Because you "just do" it makes it so?
* Ariel starts slowly on her food, "Well... Medbay certainly won't be a concern."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...what outfit, hmmm?
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "I dunno, we are supposed to be buddies yet we never hang out or any of that."
* Kio nibbles lightly on her ear, whispering lightly. 14"The one you took off on stage"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles, looking at her a moment, before eating his food. "So, tell me. What are your hobbies? I imagine with all the boring work that is diplomacy, you probably have come up with hundreds of things to do."
* Ceres shakes her head, startingt o cry
<Kio> NRP: Cole is a very pessimistic person
<Cassandra_Arakawa> The one I'm wearing now?
* `Cole frowns, knowing that this might happen. "You shouldn't cry. Would you like me to tell you why?"
<Kio> 14"You are? Can't really tell cause of the trenchcoat"
<`Cole> NRP: Truthful maybee?
<Chad`Winters> And here I thought we were arch-rivals destined to do battle on the field.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hmmm?
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh is that what you thought? *He eyes Chad* Who said we couldn't be both?
* Ariel considers, "Well... I suppose I don't have so many. I still make sure I get my time in the training rooms. Music, and reading. Though... I have little talent at performing, and less at writing."
<DeathStar> <Darien> What sort of music do you like?
<Chad`Winters> *smirks slightly* I suppose no one does.
<Chad`Winters> And how are you holding up?
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "Silent, moody, spouting off hopeless romantic quips. You know, the usual."
<Chad`Winters> I believe I warned you right before you left to think twice about your brilliant ideas.
<Kio> 14"Ah hell..nothing..but yeah I like the outfit."
<Xanatos`Durran> And I believe that either way I was doomed. I did what I could in an attempt to salvage the entire thing the best I could..." *He pauses for a moment* "If I was a girl, I would have took me back though. Best thing to over come from this log of a brain."
<Ariel> "Hmm... I suppose you could call it classical. Though, it's not quite the same restriction. Opera is always nice."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have this thing for country. 6He confesses. "Old country style from a few centuries ago."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Thanks.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not mocking the idea, it was the delivery that sucked.
<`Cole> NRP: *hates Ceres now, look now I gotta make my mad face! >|o( *
<Xanatos`Durran> I think I did better than what most would have done in the situation. Besides, I can't change it now, no use in even going on about it.
<Ariel> "Country? I'm not sure I'm familiar with it."
<Chad`Winters> Abusing your security position? *shakes his head* That's not better. Most people would've just set it on her doorstep.
<Xanatos`Durran> Last time I did that. *he thinks* Some guys took the stuff and read the poem over the comms and made copies of the picture and poem, handing them out all across base.
<Chad`Winters> I'd believe that would've been the better outcome than the current one.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Remind me to play some of it for you.
<Xanatos`Durran> Not when it embaressed the girl and took it to the point where she proclaimed her undying hate for me over the comms for the entire base to here.
<Kio> 14"Now now..no need for all that." 2Stops in front of the doors, laughing slightly. 14"By the way you have a very..strange past..is that why you didn't want to tell me?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Least people only talk about me whenever i'm not around.
<Chad`Winters> If you knew Kat, that wouldn't have happened.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well...you know...that's just me.
<Xanatos`Durran> People react completely unlike themselves when embaressed.
* `Cole just leads Ceres for her shuttle since she is a jerk and stopped talking.
<Ceres> NRP: SOrry... RL issue
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I'm really just being mean. :)
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"So now what?"
* Ariel nods, "I'd be interested to hear."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes his fish. "Then I'll show you my collection in my room sometime."
<Xanatos`Durran> Thats what i've been trying to figure out. Though my options, i'm not to thrilled about.
<Kio> 14"Apparantly, old habits die hard I suppose..hmm?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yeah...
* Ariel is a little slower eating, "A strong interest of yours?"
<Chad`Winters> I do believe it is more socially acceptable for two men to date now.
* Xanatos`Durran glance at Chad. "I'm sorry, but I don't like you that way."
<Chad`Winters> Good, I don't need a deranged lover breaking into my room.
<Xanatos`Durran> Zephyr hasn't made it to that stage yet.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, my biggest interest is of course flying. 6He says with a faint smile on his face. "I grew up around shuttles, because my dad was a fighter pilot."
<Kio> 14"Oh well, strip and pose as you like..long as I'm the one you enjoy your time with.." 2Walks inside
<Chad`Winters> She doesn
* Ariel listens, "Oh?"
<Chad`Winters> She doesn't appear to be the stalker type.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "You're a lucky man, Chad."
<Chad`Winters> I don't believe in luck.
<Xanatos`Durran> You wouldn't. *he says flatly*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Don't worry about it. They cna look...only you get to touch.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. He was a great pilot. He taught me how to fly and everything. I would sit in his lap at the age of six and holds the controls to his ship. 6He smiles faintly. "I was a little young when the war broke out, and dad was enlisted. He died in the beginning, so I illegally joined a battle using his ship at the age of 17. I did so good, that I got a position in the military the day I turned 18."
* `Cole finds Ceres' shuttle and lays her down in some seats. Since he is passed out, he just moves over and flies her back to the station.
* Kio laughs. 14"John was touching inside his mind"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> John does that anyway.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head after a moment of silence. "Chad. She likes you."
<Chad`Winters> So I've heard. You know who's two cards short of a full deck? That Ambassador Ceres. You should go for that.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not going for anyone. And i'm not talking about Zephyr.
* Ariel nods slowly, a little saddened even to just hear about the death of Darien's father. "Flying... has always been enjoyable. Though, I do find it better when you can feel the wind on your face, than just floating in space. You've much talent in both it seems."
<Chad`Winters> Neither was I.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "So now you are presented with options. Choices for the future."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I know a place where I find a nice ride that would let the wind blow across your face, if you like. Some old model planes. 6He notes, studying her.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair fully. He looks at Durran and quirks his eyebrow. 1"You're scareing me. Not something easily done."
<Kio> 14"...that's what worries me" 2Orders a few drinks from the bar.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> He already had my Playboy issue anyway.
<Xanatos`Durran> I just plan on making myself clear. I don't want to my words or actions to be misinterpreted(sp?).
* `Cole lands the shuttle in the hanger, he would step off the ramp, holding a passed out Ceres in his arms, he would walk across the hanger, not looking over at Durran and Chad.
<Kio> 14"Speaking of, you better hope no body video taped that..needless to say if that reaches PAX..well uhh"
<Chad`Winters> Well you're not doing a good job. You tell me I have a choice of two woman then you say something to make me believe that you're thinking of something again.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Cole and then looks back at Chad. "What do you believe i'm thinking of?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...damn...son of a...
<Chad`Winters> A voice tells me you'll go for the rebound of the one that I don't choose, but I tend not to listen to the voices.
<Kio> 14"Yeah see, thinking ahead sometimes helps love" 2He gives her a playful nudge, sliding the drink in front of her.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head. "Your voice is quite wrong. Katrina is the only girl I want to be with, and I see it staying that way for quite some time. I'm just trying to point out to you that in the near future, you might have to make a choice that will ultimately break a heart. Though it seems you're so clever, you already knew that."
* Ariel considers, "Older model planes?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa raises the drink to her lips and downs it...
<Chad`Winters> Every action has a reaction. A simple law that governs the cosmos.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yep. And I promise they fly. 6He smiles.
* `Cole helps Ceres into her room via her keycard and then lays her down in her bed. He places the cover on her and moves out of the room.
* Ariel smiles, "Now I'll admit you have hooked my curiousity.."
* Xanatos`Durran is silent as he thinks, "I don't know what i'm going to do Chad." He says after the silence starts to get uncomfortable.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Excellent. According to Zephyr's tips on dating, now that I have you interested in my hobby, it means you'll go on a second date with me."
* Kio tilts his head back, downing his own drink. 14"Oh well..fuck it!" 2Simply just to be random, his hand would slip around her back..and he would move to tilt her back in his hands. He would draw her into a heavy kiss, transferring the piece of ice in his mouth directly into her own.
<Chad`Winters> Move on would be one option. Wounds take time to heal, picking at them doesn't speed the healing up, it just leads a nasty scar...*he waves his hands* Which may lead to another chick, since supposedly chicks dig scars.
* Cassandra_Arakawa kisses Kio back...
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not talking about relationships anymore. *he is staring at the ground*
<DeathStar> NRP: Kio's horny after that dance.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, meanwhile, chews on his ice cube.
* Ariel deadpans, "I do wonder how many dates the writer of those books has been on."
<Kio> NRP: if he was horny, he woulda just went to a hotel :P
<Chad`Winters> You change topics faster than Serena Cran changed points of view.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Very little, I imagine. 6He laughs.
<Xanatos`Durran> I have a lot on my mind for a change. Just sorting through it. *He stops for a moment* Hot damn I'm glad she isn't here anymore.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *meanwhile Chad finishes writing his 5 book in the series*
* Kio pulls back, grinning slightly. 14"Always wanted to do that"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...wow.
<Chad`Winters> She was a pain in the ass. Things are normally chaotic, but eventually order will arise from it.
<Chad`Winters> And I swear...If I see her wearing some tacky uniform with that gaudy Omega symbol on it....*he shakes his head, shuttering slightly*
* Ariel smiles, "Well, I atleast hope as much. If the majority finds those useful..."
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "At least I know how to get you agitated. Just talk about Serena."
* Chad`Winters looks down at his datapad. 1"You're time's up, if you wanna continue this chat, it'll cost you 7.95"
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair and closes his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles. "Well, as sad as the tips may be, I'm glad we're here tonight."
<Kio> 14"Wasn't done yet" 2He said, and put his lips to her once more. She was drawn into a heavier kiss then last time, one that seemed convey his very being through her lips. It continued much longer also, which each passing moment only deepening in passion.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Chad. "Don't hurt her. I wont always be here to kick your ass if you do. But if you do, i'll find a way to come and kick your ass. Bet on it." *He turns to walk off*
<Chad`Winters> You couldn't hurt a gimped pig.
<Xanatos`Durran> You fear me Winters. You just haven't figure it out yet. *he gives a slight wave as he moves on*
* Chad`Winters scoffs and nestles into chair.
* Ariel bows her head, "I'm glad you asked."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Me too.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
